I feel you, man. I have some of the worst luck as well. Now I just try to take a little bit long to do everything and hope I catch the mistakes I would otherwise make.

you suggested someone switch to automatic. That was a stupid piece of advice, therefore it makes you look like you lack basic intelligence. And you clearly are a psychopath. So again get off. And dont come back. Kthxby

I would suggest just having a good mechanic take a look at it, sounds like this is all the product of poorly done work.

^^^i was thinking the same thing. slave and master are usually done at the same time. common sense and you only need to bleed the system once. (bench bleed the master prior to install). bleed the system of air thoroughly. hydraulic system should be fine afterwards. putting the throwout bearing on backwards you would think would be obvious as the fork will not seat properly but regardless.

If the master cyl. was replaced, make sure that the clutch rod is not too long. Its adjustable and if too long, will not allow fluid to flow back into the reservoir. Had that happen when I did my 5spd swap and the clutch would slip when it got warm under the hood. Would bleed the system and let off the excess pressure, and it would work again.
